A downloadable game

A Hint of Osmanthus is a Zhongli Visual Novel created by a two person team Plus One Star Productions. All assets are either made based on Hoyoverse's game 'Genshin Impact' by the team or directly taken from Hoyoverse's asset list. 

The game was set in a pseudo-modern time in Teyvat, where visions did not exist. Zhongli had stopped working in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and was now an independent consultant working with the Liyue Qixing and giving lectures all over Teyvat. Meanwhile, you're part of the Adventurer's Guild and did menial work around Teyvat for a living (cleaning, delivery, and helping the locals). You helped him out one time, and with time, you became good friends.

One day, you get a letter from Zhongli telling you that he was about to finish his lectures in the Sumeru Akademiya and knew you would be in Liyue at the time. He invited you to hang out and you agreed.

Surprisingly, there were things that happened during this hang out which would greatly impact your relationship. It depends on you what your relationship will become at the end of the game!

This game has :

  • 6 Endings
  • 30+ Sprites (including characters, silhouettes and item sprites)
  • 4 Minigames
  • Backgrounds from Genshin
  • More than 10.000 words of content
  • A lot of love from Plus One Star Productions.
